Is RunServices supported in Windows 7?
Trying to get a program to start before user logon in Windows 7. Worked fine in Windows XP. Using RunServices in the registry. Looking at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/137367 it does not list Windows7. Is there a different technique that needs to be used for Windows 7?

Hi GrapeFlavorDrink, Which program do you want to run during logging on to windows 7? RunServices is supported in windows 7. By default when you install any program, at the end, you will be prompted for permission to add this program to startup. So that this program starts during the startup of your computer.

Thanks for the help. The issue is not with startup. Programs that are set in startup run after the user logs into the machine. I want the program to run before the user logs into the machine. The installer for the program creates an entry using RunServices. The program I am installing allows users to unlock and reset their user account passwords.
